Pet care experience
My mom taught me the importance of pet care and the responsibilities that come along with it. The pets I grew up with often varied by the years, yet dogs and cats were a staple for the family. From retrievers to pits, to hermit crabs, fish and turtles and parakeets, I always had to have my days full of fur, scales and feathers. Currently I am a caregiver to 3 chickens, a cat and a man - oh wait, the last one is just my hubby! Eugene, our domestic medium hair has showed zero signs of jealousy when I spend time house sitting for my friends, although maybe he's plotting my death some days - who knows. For now, he seems quite alright with his Fancy Feast Petites awaiting his returns from evening strolls around the yard. I think what sets me apart from your average sitter is how I react to situations from pet life! 3 Houdini hens will keep you on your toes and remaining gentle, firm and calm has always been best practice. I'm also a massage therapist! And what puppy doesn't love a professional belly rub? As long as the communication about what is preferred for each pet is relayed, I believe in my ability to protect the nature of the environment and respect the wishes of the owners in regards to boundaries for pets and their normal routines. I have fencing for my own chickens with a chicken tractor and Eugene is a beautiful fixed queen who stays in during the day with plenty of water and roams the night. He's pretty independent. I have experience with kenneling, leashing, shock effect, and other fencing options.
Reviews
Amarina was Amazing!! She sent me sweet updates each time she stopped over and sweet pictures! I was amble to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my boys were in the best of hands!
Amy is a great sitter and I hope to use her again! Thank you!!
Amy was great! Anna loved Amy from the moment they met! We have not left Anna with anyone -normally we take Anna with us when we travel - this was a big step for us - it turned out great! Thank you for making this trip easy!
Amarina was such a great help in walking our always overly excited pups!! She was on time, trusted, and walked our boys as requested. She will definitely be called upon again!!

My cat Eugene is a fixed indoor by day, outdoor by night cat. He's got me on a strict early morning routine so I'm not afraid to be up at early hours to care for others' pets. Currently, I am not accepting in-home daycare for the sanity of my cat. I only travel to the client's home to stay with their pet. I believe it really keeps them more at ease with me and allows me to connect easier on their level, being in an environment they know and love.

Information Amarina K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any medications, proper feeding times, potty times, special accommodations you need for care on a daily basis. Written, detailed instructions help out a TON before you leave.
A typical day
Besides any toys around the house, I LOVE hikes and walks and hope your doggo (or maybe gato!) does too. If not, we'll take small trips around the yard or practice tricks and fun around the home. Snuggles are important too!
